Walking up and down stairs are typically the last thing someone would like to do. Athletes use stairs to condition and build up strength, and if you have ever used the stair master the burn felt initially may make a person cry. Exercising and pushing through the burn not only benefits the body physically but mentally as well. Trusting in the process of the Lord not only benefits us spiritually but for eternity.
Life may feel as if it’s taking you through a storm, you can’t see yourself getting through. The doctor may have given news of cancer found in the body, possibly a loved one just passed, getting abused inside your home, or even your marriage may seem to be falling apart, BUT GOD.
Staying in the sight of the lord provides protection from evil
Trusting in the word of the Lord provides power
Keeping Gods commandments provides strength
God has a procedure and proper time for every circumstance
(Ecclesiastes 8; 1-6)
When we ask why me God, we question the process of the Lord and show lack of faith only drawing us away. It was never said we would not be tempted, when we draw away from him (James 1:14), but when we follow his commandments, life can begin. We are to grow spiritually through all things allowing his will to show (2 Peter 3: 18).
God ask:
- that we stay away from sinners even when enticed (Proverbs 1:10)
- seek first his kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33)
- Be confident and trust God will carry you to completion (Philippians 1:6)
God Calls:
- his children to live a holy life and allow his will to be done. (1 Peter 1: 13-16)
Question:
Are you more trusting in the process of exercising than the process of the Lord?
As believers continue to grow forward and trust in the process.
